Apr 06, 2018Hi Jared - we have recently made a change to set all members to follow a group in Inbox by default at create time. If you use Outlook Web, you should be able tp see this change when you try to create a group in Outlook. If you use Outlook on Windows, you would be able to see this change in the next couple of months.
For existing groups, you can use the Edit Group settings and then check the box which says "set all members to follow...". Checking this box will reset all the group members to Follow in Inbox as well as change the Group's default setting to Follow when a new members is added to the Group.
From a powershell cmdlet perspective, you can provision a new group using "Set-UnifiedGroup" with attribute -AutoSubscribeNewMembers for this on a per group.
Does that answer your question?

Ravin Sachdeva you have mentioned "we have recently made a change to set all members to follow a group in Inbox by default at create time", where do you set this up? In our environment it is right now off and I don't know how to change behavior, I've been researching online but no luck, can you point out where is this default setting or powershell command that I need to execute?
